A luxury holiday company is launching just an hour away from Plymouth in the new year.

Beyond Escapes Devon, which is set to open in February, will offer both guests and locals alike the ultimate holiday and leisure experiences with boutique-style, high quality accommodation and top-class facilities.

The venue, which will open in Blagdon, just outside Paignton, will create 60 new jobs and contribute an estimated £1.5million to the local economy each year.

Jason Bruton, Managing Director at Beyond Escapes, said: “Holidays are a treasured escape, a time to enjoy spending time with family and simply be together.

“They are a time to relax, recharge and reconnect with ourselves and others, whilst disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.

“At Beyond Escapes we wanted to create a space that is different to everything else that already exists in the staycation market, a place that caters for all and which offers a quality holiday experience that goes above and beyond what people expect and we truly believe we have achieved that here in Devon.”

The brand’s philosophy is to create the perfect escape that is accessible to everyone and caters for all.

Each of the Beyond Escapes experiences will be unique, embracing the individuality of the locality while providing an array of quality accommodation options and high-spec ancillary facilities, including the BE Tempted Restaurant and the BE You Spa and Gym.

Boasting stunning views of the Torbay coastline, the on-site restaurant will offer an à la carte menu and cater for 100 sittings per evening, with breakfast, light bites offered throughout the day, and a takeaway menu also available.

As is the case with each of the experiences, the menu has been heavily influenced by its coastal location, with locally sourced seafood and other fresh produce being championed throughout.

For the spa, the company has partnered with luxury skincare brands to offer naturally sourced, organic treatments that have been hand-picked to give visitors the perfect blend of rejuvenation and relaxation.

As well as indulging in luxurious treatments, guests can take advantage of the on-site spa facilities which include sauna, steam room, heated foot spas, monsoon showers and an outside terrace with vitality pool.

The gym has 10 stations and views of the site’s picturesque surroundings. With 100 annual memberships available each year, locals as well as on-site guests can work out in style.

Beyond Escapes Devon will accommodate around 230 overnight guests at any one time, in accommodation options ranging from one-bedroom studios to deluxe mansion suites and two, three and four-bedroom deluxe lodges complete with their own private hot tubs, as well as dedicated pet and baby-friendly lodges.

“With its breath-taking views, stunning nearby beaches and abundance of attractions, the region made it an easy choice for us when it came to selecting the base for our first offering, and we can’t wait to showcase all that this fantastic area has to offer,” Mr Bruton added.

“Each of our experiences will be unique in their own way, working in harmony with their surroundings, championing local produce and offering activities in keeping with the locality.

“That combined with Beyond Escape’s high-end, boutique style accommodation and top-quality facilities; allow both overnight guests and day visitors to be whatever you want to be.”

Beyond Escapes Devon will be the first of several sites to open across the UK over the next five years, with the company’s flagship site Beyond Escapes North Yorkshire due to launch in Pickering, next summer.
